Might Rob Zombie be including Broadway musical creator to his resume? Loopy as which will sound, the musician and director is really contemplating turning his first film Home Of 1000 Corpses right into a stage present. This concept first got here up in an interview with Larry King final 12 months.

I not too long ago had the prospect to talk with Rob Zombie in honor of his new film three From Hell, which hits theaters for 3 nights solely subsequent week. Throughout our dialog, the subject of this Home of 1000 Corpses Broadway musical got here up. Here is what he needed to say about it.

“Oh that’s something I would totally consider doing, because it’s something that I think really lends itself to that. Because that movie, in particular, is so theatrical and so over the top, that it seems like it would work. Especially these days, where you have everything from Spider-Man, to Beetlejuice, to The Addams Family as a Broadway play. I’ve made no moves yet to try and make that happen but it is a backburner thing in my mind all the time.”

Whereas Rob Zombie makes it clear no progress has been made on this proposed enterprise, he is definitely critical in regards to the prospect.

Home of 1000 Corpses marked Rob Zombie’s transition from best-selling rock music icon to horror film filmmaker. However the transition was a bit bumpy, to say the least.

That proved to achieve success and led to a sequel, The Satan’s Rejects, in 2005 and the upcoming finale to the trilogy, three From Hell.
